Domestic terrorist Scott Roeder's been found guilty of murdering Dr. George Tiller in Wichita last summer. As Mithras noted earlier today, the judge disallowed a jury instruction that would have allowed the jury to consider manslaughter. This is because abortion is legal, and there is therefore no necessity defense for killing someone who is scheduled to go to work the next day and perform them. Though Mithras provides a more reasoned explanation for why it all shook out the way it did.
The jury returned their guilty verdict in under an hour.
